An aircraft carrier would be incredibly difficult to actually sink. They could manage a “mission kill”, inflicting lots of casualties while knocking a major ship out of action for many years.

The Iranians have been working on missiles for the last few years. In addition, Russia and/or China have been helping them. It used to be carriers were thin hulled for ease of maneuverability-which makes them vulnerable.

Remember the Argentinians sunk a five billion dollar British destroyer with a $250,000 dollar Exocet missile.
